Cruisers Keep Guard
To Prevent Kacapo ;
Already, the light cruisers Ajax
and Achilles, which drove the
Graf Spee Into this harbor alter
a day-long battle yesterday, were
on watch, along with the
crippled Bltrish cruiser Exeter.
Reports from the Ajax and
Achilles said that they had no
dead and only a few wonnded.
There were unconfirmed reports.
nowever, of some dead aboard the
Exeter.
The Renown, last reported on
guard off Capetown with the Ark
Royal for other German pocket
battleship raiders, has six 15
inch guns.
The seamen surrendered today
by the Graf Spee had huddled to
gether in the brig of the pocket
battleship while yesterday's battle
raged for hours above their heads.
They were released at 6:45 p.
m. (1:15 p. m. PST).
Under the direction of British
legation officials, a tugboat pulled
alongside the pocket battleship
and the seamen emerged from
their prison. '
Prisoners Show Evidence
Of Terrible Day
They clambered happily- into
the tug for the trip ashore.
Headed by five merchant cap
tains, the men mounted the same
gang-plank over which Captain
Hans Langsdorff of the Graf
Spee a half hour earlier had led
half a dozen smartly clad nasi of
ficers on his way to make a for
mal call in port.
The prisoners ranged In age
from a man 72 years old to youths
who appeared less than 15 years.
Most of them carried shapeless
bags holding their scanty belong
ings. Some clung tightly to life
belts salvaged from their old
ship.
Without exception they showed
the effects of a terrible day spent
in close confinement in the bow
els of the Graf Spee while the
battleship was pounded by Brit
ish shells and shaken by the recoil
of its own 11-inch guns.
The Imprisoned captains were
identified as Brown of the S3
Huntsman, Pottinger of the S3
Ashlea, Edwards of the S3 Tre
vanion, Stubbs of the SS Doric
Star and Patrick G. G. Dove of
the Africa Shell. All these ships
were sunk in the vicinity of the
African.coast.
The other four vessels which
fell victim to the raider were the
Clement, sunk off Brazil Septem
ber 30; the Newton Beach, at
tacked off South Africa October
5; the Pairo, which went down
the same day as the Doric Star;
and the Streonshalh. sunk off the
river Platte about a week ago.

"Slaves and hirelings of capital

They have jaipped a dozen at

The furious artillery attack,

the Finnish troops.

The road over which I ap

was blocked in many places by
felled trees and rutted by shell
holes.
But despite almost constant
shelling in this sector by the
Russians today the Finns didn't
fire an answering shot.
"We don't shoot unless we have
to." one officer said. "The Rus
sians are just spoiling our for

Crack Nazi liner
Leaves Vera Cruz
VERA CRUZ, Mez., Dec. 14-(AV-The
German liner Columbus,
fueled and provisioned for a 50-
day voyage, slipped to sea today
apparently attempting to dodge
British warships on the high seas
and run the allied blockade to
Germany. '
A rich war prize if captured at
sea, the S2-SS 1-ton liner had been
in Vera Cruz since September 4,
the day after Britain declared
war.
Efforts to keep her departure
secret were made because of Brit
ish warships patrollng gulf and
Caribbean waters. The Columbus
received clearing papers for Os
lo, Norway, yesterday. Before
dawn she shifted her anchorage
and by 10 a. m. was outside Mex

Anglo-Russ Trade
Relations Tense
Snap Expected as Result
of Soviet Invasion
of Finland
LONDON. Dec 14-VBrItIsh
condemnation of the Russian in
vasion of Finland and a pledge
to give ail possible aid to the
Finns was regarded by reliable
observers tonight as foreshadow
ing a definite breakdown of An-glo-sovtet
trade relations.
It was considered probably
there would be a rupture of other
relations as well.
, Prime Minister Chamberlain, in
a, pre-holiday report to commons;
declared soviet Russia had "out
raged the conscience of the whole
world."
He said Great Britain has re
leased a number of fighting
planes for immediate delivery to
Finland and Intends ot release
other material,
, Praising the league for con
demning Russia, Chamberlain told
commons that "Germany alone
among the nations, even now is
abetting by word and deed the
Russian aggression.'
"We must give what help and
support we can to the latest vic
tim of these destructive forces.
But meanwhile, it Is only by con
centrating on our tak of resist
ance to German aggression and
thus attacking the evil at Its root
that wo can hope to save the na
tions of Europe from the fate
that otherwise must overtake
them."
Chamberlain ld the Finnish
army had proved Itself by far
the better fighting force in every
thing but numbers. It is too
early, he added, "to attempt any
forecast of the outcome of this
unequal struggle, but its political
consequences already have been
farreachlng."

A proposed national park, extend

Columbia's Mouth
Lashed by Storms
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 14-
Shipping was baited and trees
toppled over coastal highways to
day as a 70-mlle an hour gale
lashed the lower Columbia river
area. ,
The gale followed a rapid drop
of the barometer, 13 points in
12 hours, forcing cancellation of
the North Beach ferry's noon
trip and stopping movements of
four ships.
Three remained at anchor In
side the river mouth and another
vessel cruised at sea, waiting for
the bar to quiet The blow was
hard enough to keep the Colum
